Cheap web hosting in Belgium: it does not have to be expensive
Cheap web hosting in Belgium does not have to mean giving up on quality. In this guide we show that affordable hosting with Dutch support, fast servers and professional features go together perfectly well.
The Belgian web hosting market is one of the most expensive in Europe. Combell, the market leader, quickly charges €10-15 per month for standard shared hosting. But cheap web hosting in Belgium definitely exists. And you do not have to give up on quality.
Why is hosting in Belgium so expensive?
The high prices have three causes:
- Market dominance - Combell has a large market share and can set prices
- Bundling - Belgian providers bundle services you may not need
- Little price competition - There are only a few aggressively priced alternatives
Cheap hosting that is actually good
The trick is to look beyond the Belgian market. Providers such as Theory7 offer the same or better services for a fraction of the price:
| Item | Belgian providers | Theory7 |
|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting | €10-15/mo | €0.49/mo |
| SSL certificate | €0-50/year extra | Free |
| Daily backups | €0-30/year extra | Free |
| CDN | Not standard | Free |
| Total per year | €120-260 | €5.88-59.88 |
5 tips to save on hosting
1. Choose a provider outside Belgium
You do not have to choose a Belgian provider. What counts is server location, support language and reliability.
2. Pay attention to what is included
A plan of €3/mo with free SSL, backups and CDN is cheaper than a plan of €2/mo where you pay extra for everything.
3. Avoid long-term contracts
Some providers lure you in with low introductory prices but then raise them significantly. Look for transparent pricing.
4. Start small, grow later
Start with a basic plan. You can always upgrade if you need more.
5. Use free features
Free SSL, free CDN, free migration service - at Theory7 it is all included.
The cheapest option: Theory7 Mini
The Mini plan from Theory7 (€0.49/mo) contains:
- 10GB NVMe SSD storage
- 1 website
- 5 email addresses
- Free SSL certificate
- Daily backups
- Free CDN

That is everything most Belgian websites need, for less than a cup of coffee per month. View all plans.

Why is cheap web hosting in Belgium often more expensive than necessary?
Belgian hosting providers such as Combell and one.com often charge higher rates than Dutch providers. This is due to a smaller market and less competition. At Theory7 you benefit from sharp Dutch prices with cheap web hosting that also works excellently for Belgian websites: the same speed, reliability and support.
What should you look for in cheap web hosting?
Cheap does not have to be bad, but do pay attention to these points:
- Storage and bandwidth - check whether there is enough space for your website. NVMe SSD storage is faster than standard SSD or HDD.
- SSL certificate included - some cheap providers charge extra for SSL. At Theory7, Let's Encrypt SSL is always free.
- Email addresses - how many email addresses can you create? Some cheap plans limit this.
- Support - do you have access to technical support in Dutch? At cheap foreign providers this is often not the case.
- Server location - for Belgian visitors, a server in the Netherlands or Belgium is fastest. Theory7 runs on Dutch servers with low latency to Belgium.
- Hidden costs - watch out for renewal prices. Many providers lure you in with low starting prices but raise them sharply after the first year.
